BACKGROUND Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a method for producing a semiconductor device and to a semiconductor device.

Description of the Related Art

The degree of integration of semiconductor integrated circuits, in particular, integrated circuits using MOS transistors has been increasing. With the increasing degree of integration, the size of MOS transistors used in integrated circuits has been decreased to nano-scale dimensions. Such a decrease in the size of MOS transistors causes difficulty in suppressing leak currents, which poses a problem in that it is hard to reduce the area occupied by the circuits because of the requirements of the secure retention of necessary currents. To address the problem, a surrounding gate transistor (hereinafter referred to as an “SGT”) having a structure in which a source, a gate, and a drain are arranged vertically with respect to a substrate and a gate electrode surrounds a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer has been proposed (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication Nos. 2-71556, 2-188966, and 3-145761).

According to a typical method for producing an SGT, a silicon pillar on which a pillar-shaped nitride film hard mask has been formed is formed by using a mask for forming the silicon pillar, a planar silicon layer is formed at the bottom portion of the silicon pillar by using a mask for forming the planar silicon layer, and a gate line is formed by using a mask for forming the gate line (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2009-182317). In other words, three masks are used to form a silicon pillar, a planar silicon layer, and a gate line.

In a typical method for producing an SGT, a deep contact hole is formed in order to connect an upper portion of a planar silicon layer and a metal wire (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2009-182317). With reduction in the size of devices, the aspect ratio (depth/diameter) of contact holes increases. The increase in the aspect ratio causes a decrease in the etching rate. Furthermore, with reduction in the size of a pattern, the thickness of a resist decreases. If the thickness of the resist decreases, the resist is also etched during etching, which makes it difficult to form a deep contact hole.

A metal gate-last process in which a metal gate is formed after a high-temperature process has been employed in actual production of typical MOS transistors in order to achieve both a metal gate process and a high-temperature process (refer to IEDM 2007, K. Mistry et. al, pp. 247-250). A gate is formed using polysilicon, an interlayer insulating film is deposited, the polysilicon gate is exposed by chemical mechanical polishing and etched, and then a metal is deposited. Thus, a metal gate-last process in which a metal gate is formed after a high-temperature process needs to be also employed in making SGTs in order to achieve both a metal gate process and a high-temperature process.

If an upper portion of a hole is narrower than a lower portion of the hole during filling with a metal, the upper portion of the hole is filled with the metal first, resulting in formation of holes.

In typical MOS transistors, a first insulating film is used to decrease parasitic capacitance between the gate line and the substrate. For example, in a FINFET (refer to IEDM 2010 C C. Wu, et. al, 27.1.1-27.1.4), a first insulating film is formed around one fin-shaped semiconductor layer and etched back to expose the fin-shaped semiconductor layer in order to decrease parasitic capacitance between the gate line and the substrate. Accordingly, the first insulating film needs to be also used in an SGT in order to decrease parasitic capacitance between the gate line and the substrate. Since such an SGT includes a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer in addition to a fin-shaped semiconductor layer, special consideration is required to form the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer.

As the width of a silicon pillar decreases, it becomes more difficult to make an impurity be present in the silicon pillar because the density of silicon is 5×10²²/cm³.

In typical SGTs, it has been proposed that the channel concentration is set to be a low impurity concentration of 10¹⁷ cm⁻³ or less and the threshold voltage is determined by changing the work function of a gate material (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-356314).

It has been disclosed that, in planar MOS transistors, the sidewall of an LDD region is formed of a polycrystalline silicon having the same conductivity type as a low-concentration layer, and therefore surface carriers of the LDD region are induced by the difference in work function and the impedance of the LDD region can be reduced compared with oxide film sidewall LDD-type MOS transistors (e.g., refer to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 11-297984). It has also been disclosed that the polycrystalline silicon sidewall is electrically insulated from a gate electrode. The drawings show that the polycrystalline silicon sidewall is insulated from a source and a drain by an interlayer insulating film.

According to the present invention, there can be provided a method for producing an SGT which employs a gate-last process and in which a fin-shaped semiconductor layer, a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, a gate electrode, and a gate line are formed by self-alignment and a dummy gate and a dummy contact are simultaneously formed, and an SGT structure obtained by the method.

The method for producing a semiconductor device includes a first step of forming a fin-shaped semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate and forming a first insulating film around the fin-shaped semiconductor layer; a second step of, after the first step, forming a second insulating film around the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, depositing a first polysilicon on the second insulating film, planarizing the first polysilicon, forming a third insulating film on the first polysilicon, forming a second resist for forming a gate line and a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the fin-shaped semiconductor layer extends, and etching the third insulating film, the first polysilicon, the second insulating film, and the fin-shaped semiconductor layer to form a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, a first dummy gate formed of the first polysilicon, and a first hard mask formed of the third insulating film; and a third step of, after the second step, forming a fourth insulating film around the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer and the first dummy gate, depositing a second polysilicon around the fourth insulating film, planarizing the second polysilicon, etching back the second polysilicon to expose the first hard mask, depositing a sixth insulating film, forming a fourth resist for forming a first dummy contact, etching the sixth insulating film to form a second hard mask on a sidewall of the first hard mask and to form a third hard mask for forming the first dummy contact on the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, etching the second polysilicon so that the second polysilicon is left on sidewalls of the first dummy gate and the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer to form a second dummy gate, and forming the first dummy contact on the fin-shaped semiconductor layer. Thus, a fin-shaped semiconductor layer, a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, a gate electrode, and a gate line can be formed by self-alignment, which decreases the number of steps.

A gate electrode, a gate line, and a first contact can be formed by simultaneously forming the second dummy gate and the first dummy contact, depositing an interlayer insulating film, performing chemical mechanical polishing to expose upper portions of the second dummy gate, the first dummy gate, and the first dummy contact, removing the second dummy gate, the first dummy gate, and the first dummy contact, removing the second insulating film and the fourth insulating film, forming a first gate insulating film around the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer and on an inner surface of the fifth insulating film in a region where the second dummy gate and the first dummy gate have been present and on an inner surface of the fifth insulating film in a region where the first dummy contact has been present, forming a fifth resist for removing the first gate insulating film at a bottom portion of the region where the first dummy contact has been present, removing the first gate insulating film at a bottom portion of the region where the first dummy contact has been present, depositing a first metal, and etching back the first metal. Therefore, etching may be performed by the thickness of the first gate insulating film, and thus a step of forming a deep contact hole is not required.

A second contact in which a second metal surrounds a sidewall of an upper portion of the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, a third contact formed on the gate line and made of the second metal, and a fourth contact formed on the first contact and made of the second metal can be formed by depositing a second gate insulating film around the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, on the gate electrode, on the gate line, and on the first contact, removing a portion of the second gate insulating film on the gate line and the second gate insulating film on the first contact, depositing a second metal, etching back the second metal, removing the second gate insulating film on the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, depositing a third metal, and etching portions of the third metal and the second metal. Therefore, etching may be performed by the thickness of the second gate insulating film, and thus a step of forming a deep contact hole is not required.

Since the first gate insulating film at the bottom portion of the region where the first dummy contact has been present has been removed, the first gate insulating film remains on an inner surface of the fifth insulating film in the region where the first dummy contact has been present. The first gate insulating film is a highly insulating film formed by atomic layer deposition, and thus can insulate the first contact from the surrounding structure.

The first and second hard masks prevent the formation of a metal-semiconductor compound on the first and second dummy gates. Thus, a metal-semiconductor compound can be formed only on the fin-shaped semiconductor layer.

When the second polysilicon is etched, by employing reverse-taper etching, the area of an upper surface of the second dummy gate can be made larger than that of a lower surface of the second dummy gate. Thus, in filling with a metal for forming a gate, the formation of holes can be prevented. At the same time, the area of an upper surface of the first dummy contact can be made larger than that of a lower surface of the first dummy contact. Thus, in filling with a metal for a first contact, the formation of holes can be prevented.

A typical metal gate-last production process can be employed which includes forming a first dummy gate and a second dummy gate using a polysilicon, depositing an interlayer insulating film, performing chemical mechanical polishing to expose the first dummy gate and the second dummy gate, etching the polysilicon gate, and then depositing a metal. Therefore, a metal gate SGT can be easily produced.

If a metal gate-last process is used for an SGT, an upper portion of a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer is covered with a polysilicon gate. Therefore, it is difficult to form a diffusion layer in the upper portion of the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer. This requires formation of a diffusion layer in the upper portion of the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer before formation of a polysilicon gate. In contrast, according to the present invention, the upper portion of a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer can be made to function as an n-type semiconductor layer or a p-type semiconductor layer by the difference in work function between metal and semiconductor without forming a diffusion layer in the upper portion of the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer. Accordingly, a step of forming a diffusion layer in an upper portion of a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer can be omitted.

The first gate insulating film formed around and at bottom portions of the gate electrode and the gate line can insulate the gate electrode and the gate line from the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer and the fin-shaped semiconductor layer.

Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.

Referring now to the figures of the drawing in detail, a production process for forming an SGT structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2A to FIG. 46C.

Described first is a first step that includes forming a fin-shaped semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate and forming a first insulating film around the fin-shaped semiconductor layer.

As illustrated in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the first resist 102 is removed.

As illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5C, a first insulating film 104 is deposited around the fin-shaped silicon layer 103. An oxide film formed by high-density plasma or an oxide film formed by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) may be used as the first insulating film.

As illustrated in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the first insulating film 104 is etched back to expose an upper portion of the fin-shaped silicon layer 103. The process so far is the same as that of a method for making a fin-shaped silicon layer in IEDM 2010 C C. Wu, et. al, 27.1.1-27.1.4.

The description so far has shown a first step that includes forming a fin-shaped silicon layer 103 on a silicon substrate 101 and forming a first insulating film 104 around the fin-shaped silicon layer 103.

As illustrated in FIGS. 9A to 9C, a third insulating film 107 is formed on the first polysilicon 106. The third insulating film 107 is preferably a nitride film.

As illustrated in FIGS. 10A to 10C, a second resist 108 for forming a gate line and a pillar-shaped silicon layer is formed in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the fin-shaped silicon layer 103 extends.

As illustrated in FIGS. 11A to 11C, the third insulating film 107, the first polysilicon 106, the second insulating film 105, and the fin-shaped silicon layer 103 are etched to form a pillar-shaped silicon layer 109, a first dummy gate 106 a formed of the first polysilicon, and a first hard mask 107 a formed of the third insulating film.

As illustrated in FIGS. 12A to 12C, the second resist 108 is removed.

The description so far has shown a second step that includes forming a second insulating film around the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, depositing a first polysilicon on the second insulating film, planarizing the first polysilicon, forming a third insulating film on the first polysilicon, forming a second resist for forming a gate line and a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the fin-shaped semiconductor layer extends, and etching the third insulating film, the first polysilicon, the second insulating film, and the fin-shaped semiconductor layer to form a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, a first dummy gate formed of the first polysilicon, and a first hard mask formed of the third insulating film.

Described next is a third step that follows the second step and includes forming a fourth insulating film around the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer and the first dummy gate, depositing a second polysilicon around the fourth insulating film, planarizing the second polysilicon, etching back the second polysilicon to expose the first hard mask, depositing a sixth insulating film, forming a fourth resist for forming a first dummy contact, etching the sixth insulating film to form a second hard mask on a sidewall of the first hard mask and to form a third hard mask for forming the first dummy contact on the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, etching the second polysilicon so that the second polysilicon is left on sidewalls of the first dummy gate and the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer to form a second dummy gate, and forming the first dummy contact on the fin-shaped semiconductor layer.

As illustrated in FIGS. 13A to 13C, a fourth insulating film 110 is formed around the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the first dummy gate 106 a. The fourth insulating film 110 is preferably an oxide film.

As illustrated in FIGS. 17A to 17C, a fourth resist 201 for forming a first dummy contact is formed.

As illustrated in FIGS. 18A to 18C, the sixth insulating film 114 is etched. As a result, a second hard mask 114 a is formed on a sidewall of the first hard mask 107 a, and a third hard mask 114 b for forming the first dummy contact on the fin-shaped silicon layer is formed.

As illustrated in FIGS. 19A to 19C, the second polysilicon 113 is etched so that the second polysilicon 113 is left on sidewalls of the first dummy gate 106 a and the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer 109 to form a second dummy gate 113 a and form a first dummy contact 113 b on the fin-shaped silicon layer 103. The fourth insulating film 110 is divided into fourth insulating films 110 a and 110 b. When the second polysilicon 113 is etched, by employing reverse-taper etching, the area of an upper surface of the second dummy gate 113 a can be made larger than that of a lower surface of the second dummy gate 113 a. Thus, in filling with a metal for forming a gate, the formation of holes can be prevented. At the same time, the area of an upper surface of the first dummy contact 113 b can be made larger than that of a lower surface of the first dummy contact 113 b. Thus, in filling with a metal for a first contact, the formation of holes can be prevented.

As illustrated in FIGS. 20A to 20C, the fourth resist 201 is removed.

The description so far has shown a third step that follows the second step and includes forming a fourth insulating film around the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer and the first dummy gate, depositing a second polysilicon around the fourth insulating film, planarizing the second polysilicon, etching back the second polysilicon to expose the first hard mask, depositing a sixth insulating film, forming a fourth resist for forming a first dummy contact, etching the sixth insulating film to form a second hard mask on a sidewall of the first hard mask and to form a third hard mask for forming the first dummy contact on the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, etching the second polysilicon so that the second polysilicon is left on sidewalls of the first dummy gate and the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer to form a second dummy gate, and forming the first dummy contact on the fin-shaped semiconductor layer.

Described next is a fourth step that includes forming a fifth insulating film around the second dummy gate and the first dummy contact, etching the fifth insulating film into a sidewall shape so that sidewalls formed of the fifth insulating film are formed, forming a second diffusion layer in an upper portion of the fin-shaped semiconductor layer and a lower portion of the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, and forming a metal-semiconductor compound in an upper portion of the second diffusion layer.

As illustrated in FIGS. 21A to 21C, a fifth insulating film 115 is formed around the second dummy gate 113 a and the first dummy contact 113 b. The fifth insulating film 115 is preferably a nitride film.

As illustrated in FIGS. 22A to 22C, the fifth insulating film 115 is etched into a sidewall shape so that sidewalls 115 a and 115 b formed of the fifth insulating film are formed.

As illustrated in FIGS. 23A to 23C, an impurity is introduced to form a second diffusion layer 116 in an upper portion of the fin-shaped silicon layer 103 and a lower portion of the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109. When an n-type diffusion layer is formed, arsenic or phosphorus is preferably introduced. When a p-type diffusion layer is formed, boron is preferably introduced. Such an impurity may be introduced before the deposition of the fifth insulating film 115.

As illustrated in FIGS. 24A to 24C, a metal-semiconductor compound 117 is formed in an upper portion of the second diffusion layer 116. Herein, the first and second hard masks 107 a and 114 a prevent the formation of the metal-semiconductor compound in upper portions of the first and second dummy gates 106 a and 113 a. As a result, the metal-semiconductor compound can be formed only in an upper portion of the fin-shaped semiconductor layer 103.

The description so far has shown a fourth step that includes forming a fifth insulating film around the second dummy gate and the first dummy contact, etching the fifth insulating film into a sidewall shape so that sidewalls formed of the fifth insulating film are formed, forming a second diffusion layer in an upper portion of the fin-shaped semiconductor layer and a lower portion of the pillar-shaped semiconductor layer, and forming a metal-semiconductor compound in an upper portion of the second diffusion layer.

The first gate insulating film 120 may be removed by performing isotropic etching. Therefore, etching may be performed by the thickness of the first gate insulating film, and thus a step of forming a deep contact hole is not required.

FIGS. 1A to 10 illustrate a structure of the semiconductor device obtained by the above production method.

The semiconductor device includes a fin-shaped silicon layer 103 formed on a silicon substrate 101, a first insulating film 104 formed around the fin-shaped silicon layer 103, a first contact 121 c formed on the fin-shaped silicon layer 103, a first gate insulating film 120 b formed around the first contact 121 c, a fourth contact 124 b formed on the first contact 121 c, and a second gate insulating film 122 b formed around the fourth contact 124 b. Since the first gate insulating film 120 at the bottom portion of a region where the first dummy contact 113 b has been present has been removed, the first gate insulating film 120 b remains on an inner surface of the fifth insulating film 115 b in the region where the first dummy contact 113 b has been present. The first gate insulating film 120 is a highly insulating film formed by atomic layer deposition, and thus can insulate the first contact 121 c from the surrounding structure. Furthermore, the second gate insulating film 122 b is also a highly insulating film formed by atomic layer deposition, and thus can insulate the fourth contact 124 b from the surrounding structure.

The semiconductor device also includes a pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 formed on the fin-shaped silicon layer 103; a first gate insulating film 120 a formed around the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109; a gate electrode 121 a formed around the first gate insulating film 120 a and made of a metal, an upper surface of the gate electrode 121 a having a larger area than a lower surface of the gate electrode 121 a; a gate line 121 b connected the gate electrode 121 a, extending in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the fin-shaped silicon layer 103 extends, and made of a metal, an upper surface of the gate line 121 b having a larger area than a lower surface of the gate line 121 b; a second diffusion layer 116 formed in an upper portion of the fin-shaped silicon layer 103 and a lower portion of the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109; a second gate insulating film 122 a formed around a sidewall of an upper portion of the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109; and a second contact 124 c formed around the second gate insulating film 122 a and made of a second metal. The second contact 124 c has an upper portion connected to the upper portion of the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109.

Misalignment between the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the gate line 121 b can be eliminated because they are formed by self-alignment.

The first gate insulating film 120 a formed around and at the bottom portions of the gate electrode 121 a and the gate line 121 b can insulate the gate electrode 121 a and the gate line 121 b from the pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the fin-shaped silicon layer 103.

A third contact 124 d made of the second metal is formed on the gate line 121 b. Therefore, the upper surface of the second contact, the upper surface of the third contact, and the upper surface of the fourth contact have the same height. Consequently, the formation of a deep contact hole is not required.

It should be noted that various other embodiments and modifications can be made without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention, and the above-described embodiments are merely for illustrative purpose only and do not limit the scope of the present invention.
